Several of these urls (and more) have been blocked on several occasions by avast during startup.
I’ve attached the several logs.
Noticed that Storm Alert required attention on one of the logs, that was a program I’ve been trying to uninstall as I did not recall installing it, but it would never disappear from my list of installed programs.
Thanks!
Could you let me know if this stops it
